The installation method of Terrazzo, by grinding and flood grouting the tiles on-site, create a monolithic, even surface which is highly specified in mass-transit areas with wheeled and trolley traffic.

Quiligotti Terrazzo provided 10,000m2 of Slimline Terrazzo flooring within the new multi-million pound redevelopment of the three level departures building of Kingston International Airport. It was professionally installed with project specific guidance from Terrazzo experts from Quiligotti.

The inclusion of a Jamaican flag design assists in the presentation of the airport as one of Jamaica's flagship national developments, whilst the deep blue Terrazzo tile colour creates a welcoming design that reflects the natural splendour of the Caribbean Sea, linking with the 'Best of the Caribbean' theme.

Quiligotti project management teams worked closely with project managers and representatives from KIER construction and Llewellyn Davies Yeang Architects on the project, in creating a unique and world class airport development that delivers improved quality of service to passengers and airport users whilst continuing to comply with both local and international standards for safety and aviation security.

The opening of Grafton Shopping World, a $50 million re-development (approx. £22.3m sterling) near Brisbane has been received with delight by the local shoppers. The multi-million dollar development benefits from a beautiful, long-lasting Quiligotti Terrazzo flooring which creates a monolithic, striking surface feature for the malls and concourses

A unique feature of Quiligotti Terrazzo is the ability to tailor the appearance to suit a particular architectural and interior design scheme. The aggregate colour and size can be altered along with the tile background colour. Additionally, water jet cutting and other specialist decoration techniques can be used to apply logos or decorative elements to the flooring to create eye-catching entrance or centre pieces, and other bespoke designs.

This choice of colours and design options of Quiligotti Terrazzo played an integral part in the specification for the Grafton Shopping World. A modern light colourway was chosen for the main shopping areas, creating a spacious and contemporary ambiance. A vivid red tile arranged in a square cluster form along side a Dark Grey tile functions as a divider between the main concourse and café and rest areas.

The White Rose Centre in Leeds is a large retail development which was originally completed in 1997, and extended in 2005 with the addition of a further six stores.

Quiligotti Terrazzo has an established reputation for providing flooring solutions in major public thoroughfares such as airports and railway station concourses, supermarkets and shopping malls.
One of the major benefits of Terrazzo flooring is its versatility. With Quiligotti's bespoke sampling service, an almost infinite variety of designs and special effects can be achieved. Terrazzo gives architects and designers total freedom to create a truly original floor. As well as being able to choose the base colour and aggregates, it is also possible to use water jet cutting techniques to create intricate designs to further enhance the look of any bespoke specification.

Quiligotti Terrazzo flooring played an important part in the creation of the striking interior design scheme at the White Rose Centre. Bold flooring designs are complemented by an equally bold stairway and escalator arrangement which link the public areas and stores on two floors.

In demanding environments, such as shopping centres, Terrazzo is a highly praised choice due to its ability to deliver a durable, easy-to-maintain, safe and wear-resistant flooring solution. Combining this with the beautiful colour schemes and natural materials such as marble and other aggregates, Terrazzo opens up a whole range of innovative applications and designs.

The inspiration for the design at the White Rose Centre came from Building Design Partnership (BDP) of Sheffield. BDP is a multi-discipline practice of architects, designers and engineers and they aim to provide comprehensive, integrated design services. Their design ideas are based on sustainability, functionality and elegance. Making it all happen was Main Contractor, AMEC. A. Andrews & Sons of Leeds were chosen for their vast experience, technical expertise and unrivalled track record as one of the UK's leading hard-floor contractors.

The Quiligotti Terrazzo tiles used were 497x497mm square in a specially-made combination of Greek White Marble and Italian Green aggregate set in a white cement background. All the patterned central areas and borders were in a special dark green design. The Terrazzo flooring at the White Rose Centre always looks clean - and, of course, its fantastic appearance will stay that way for years to come.

The Wayfarers Arcade is a Grade II listed building located on Southport's famous Lord Street Boulevard, in a prime location directly opposite the town hall. It is occupied by a range of high profile and specialist independent local retailers, containing 30 individual retail units. The town of Southport is celebrated for its Georgian and Victorian elegance and the interior of the Wayfarers Arcade is a prime example of this traditional style.

Terrazzo is renowned as an attractive yet durable product that is ideal for a wide range of public areas, including shopping centres and arcades. The tiles can be created to individual recipes to suit individual design schemes and create striking features.

Specified to provide a highly durable surface solution for the main shopping arcade area, Terrazzo provides a strong and resilient finish that is designed to last the lifetime of the development. The surface is extremely low maintenance, meaning that it is easy to clean and highly suited to areas with high foot fall.

Terrazzo is a material with almost limitless design capabilities, whereby individual recipes can be created to provide unique colour and design options. The bespoke Terrazzo at Wayfarers creates a sense of individuality. The centrepiece compass pattern is complemented by simple grey diamond shapes on a simple white background and a thin grey border running alongside the shop fronts.

The flooring adds to the timeless elegance that the Georgian interior provides.

Leeds Magistrate Court is one of the city’s most important pieces of modern architecture combining contemporary design sympathetic to the style known as the “Leeds Look” typified by the use of dark red brickwork and steeply pitched grey slate roofs.

Quiligotti was pleased to supply terrazzo tiles and bespoke precast terrazzo units commensurate with the high standards required for this prestigious building. Columns and doors surrounds have been enhanced with precast terrazzo providing additional prominence to the overall design.

Following installation the floor finish was post ground and sealed to provide a flat floor finish free of lips and recessed joints.

Architects and Designers, on such projects, tend to favour Terrazzo which is renowned for its durability and ease of maintenance. Terrazzo lends itself to future alteration and renovation as it is possible to repair and resurface the floor to an “as new” look several years after the original installation.

The durable characteristic of terrazzo will provide a high class flooring solution for many years to come which is good news for Leeds Magistrates Court.

Quiligotti was pleased to supply a range of standard Terrazzo tiles, in contrasting shades, for the unique floor design at The Cribbar Public House, Newquay, the latest addition to the J.D Wetherspoons portfolio of properties.

The project is a fine example of the versatility of Terrazzo and demonstrates how conventional Terrazzo tiles can be cut and laid, in a creative manner, to produce that contemporary look. The Terrazzo floor and surrounding finishes, fixtures and fittings complement each other to great effect.
Quiligotti Terrazzo is an ideal choice for public houses. Correctly installed, Terrazzo is easily maintained due to the smooth, flush joints, preventing the inevitable spillage from sitting in recessed joints, typically found in other types of hard floor finish. The flat Terrazzo surface avoids the possibility of trips arising as a result of lipping tiles and greatly simplifies the cleaning and maintenance regime.
Terrazzo tiles can be supplied in an almost infinite variety of shapes, sizes and colours with either straight or curved cuts or a combination of both.
